it’s more than theft or stealing: that’s just depriving you of your property

debasement deprives you if your labor, and denigrates your human dignity.

the formal definition of slavery

why we should put down all the economic talking points and make the moral case. it’s unassailable

which i do in my upcoming book: Modern Chains

Strict ankles to bar: 🔥

again, verify how much inaccessible bitcoin there is.

you cannot, it’s impossible.

the quantum example was just to show the btc doesn’t disappear because it doesn’t move in awhile.

you tell a no coiner bitcoin is deflationary, they find out it’s a fixed supply, they think you’re a moron and think bitcoin is dumb too

no, not hence btc deflationary.

the distinction between price and money supply is important and shouldn’t be dissolved cause it will just confuse people.

just speak with a little bit of precision.

prices will deflate, the money supply will not

btc is money, not a price

it’s a few extra words, and keeps everything clear

your statement again is clumsy.

we can verify 4 million coins haven’t moved.

there is no way to verify they are “inaccessible”

just trust you? the entire network is about verification, no thx

a quantum computer comes along and breaks all those “inaccessible” addresses, the btc are suddenly available

i’m not arguing with you to argue

just think about what your sayings

what is the available supply?

how much is there?

like saying all the steps up to the cliff edge are a waste.

you have to reach the limit to push beyond

why i love sprinkling in power hours for pushups and pulllups:

find a number of reps you can sustain on the minute every minute for 60 minutes.

it would be hard to find a workout that gets more of those “hard but doable” reps in

these are just random words, what are you trying to say?

our entire momentary system is inflationary? yes.

by design? double yes.

for money to be deflationary, it has to reduce its supply.

bitcoin is not deflationary, it’s a fixed supply. prices can deflate, but not the money supply. See Jeff Booth.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable plan. I am sure everyone who comes into a mountain of money had a plan.

I am trying to understand the data, the economic realities playing out. various numbers are out there, but around 78-85% of lotto winners, huge inheritance recipients, etc are worse off financially in 5 years. that’s crazy

not to mention suicide rates are higher than trans people. the idea there is the relationships buckled leaving them isolated. others started viewing them differently, not in a good way.

i think chalking these realities up to “they were just stupid, i’m not stupid, so it’s fine” is naive.

i think the principle in play has something to do with breaking the proof-of-work grounding to reality.

some can handle it, but most don’t.

there are people who can get into a ferrari at 12 and drive it, but with what is at stake, it’s a much larger gamble than most realize.

I’m not saying there is anything wrong with you. just that coming into money is a big burden that hits really hard

respect 🫡

I was impressed by how much local stuff is going on. That’s where it’s at

i definately cut back, but any comparative analysis from what i get on the phone, even here on nostr, is insignificant to investing in my children

i can do much better still

i know the words, but the image hit me hard

yeah, you are describing the the deepest sense of liberty.

not an empty notion of freedom:

i am free to do whatever i want, cause im an empty jar filled with nothing, free to be filled with anything

the real notion of freedom:

i am free to live a fully, deeply meaningful life, cause i filled myself full of principle and virtue, a strong and antifragile human being, who transcends useless anxiety and stress
